Read the excerpt from "The Hidden Costs of Eating Meat" by Dave McCaul. Which sentence in this excerpt contains supporting data?
Vegetarians often cite a concern for the welfare of animals when they explain their choice to avoid eating meat. However, the humane
treatment of animals is just one of the many motivations behind the vegetarian lifestyle. A lesser known benefit of vegetarianism is that it is
more responsible for our environment than eating meat. Thus, meat eaters who care about the welfare of the planet should seriously consider
choosing vegetarian alternatives.
Among the hidden environmental costs of eating meat is water waste. Many people fail to consider that it takes a lot of water to raise cattle.
Much of this water is used to irrigate the pastures where cows graze. Given the tremendous amount of grass that cows consume, the water use
adds up. According to a study conducted by the Water Education Foundation, 1 pound of California beef requires 2.464 gallons of water.
Consumers should ponder this tradeoff before deciding to purchase a pound of ground beef at the grocery store.
